[Leica] [OM] IMG: Trucks Rule !

[Jim Nichols]

Fuel prices in the US are about 1/2 what they were a couple of years 
ago.  That has spurred on the phalanx of large vehicles, which the car 
companies love, because they have the highest profit margins.

For what it's worth, many of these owners live in the surrounding rural 
areas, and may have a frequent need for the vehicles.  But, many just 
prefer them.
